I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX) in Jul 2025
Interview
Very long onsite interview, definitely move quickly through the interview process. Conversations with engineers were about ongoing projects and technical questions woven into the conversation. There was a 30 minute presentation and 6, 30 minutes 1:1 interviews with each of the interviewing engineers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is something you contributed to a previous internship / what was your greatest achievement?
I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Interview
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
